Timeline
Max Ludwig Cetto (February 20, 1903 – April 5, 1980) was a German-Mexican architect, historian of architecture, and professor.
Born in Koblenz, Germany, Max Cetto studied at the Darmstadt University of Technology, Munich and Berlin.
Cetto, Max, „Eine Fabrik von 1903, Das Fabrikgebaude der Spielwarenfabrik Margarete Steiff, Giengen a.d. Brenz (Wttbg)“, Das Neue Frankfurt 4, Frankfurt/ Main, 1932–1933.
Cetto, Max, „Gedanken zur Architektur der Zukunft - Entwicklungstendenzen in Mexiko“ Bauen in der Zukunft, 1.
At the latter he studied with Hans Poelzig, graduating as an engineer–architect in 1926 and worked then for the New Frankfurt project.
Founder-member Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne, 1928.
After 1929 he taught also some years at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach.
Cetto, Max, „Glas und Gesundheit,“ Frankfurter Zeitung, Okt.1929.
Cetto, Max, “Influencias externas y significado de la tradición,“ en Roberto Segre, ed.
In 1932 he took part in the competition for the design of the headquarters of the League of Nations in Geneva.
Cetto, Max, „Brief eines jungen deutschen Architekten an Dr. Goebbels“, Die Neue Stadt, Mai 1933, Zürich, 26–28.
He moved to San Francisco in 1938, where he worked for Los Angeles-based architect Richard Neutra on projects including the Kahn House (1939).
Married Gertrud Catarina Kramis in 1940; children: Verónica, Ana María, and Bettina Cetto.
Notable examples of his work there are the studio house of 1944 for the surrealist painter Wolfgang Paalen in San Angel, the Quintana Weekend House at the Tequesquitengo Lake (1947), his own house (1949) and that built in 1951 for the painter Roberto Berdecio (b 1910).
These and other houses elsewhere, where he combined a Modernist approach with a respect for ecology, were highly influential in Mexican domestic architecture.
He settled in Mexico and became a naturalized Mexican in 1947.
As well as having a natural affinity with Mexico, he was able to incorporate his European experiences into what he built there.
The respect for nature he had learned from Neutra is evident in his handling of the volcanic terrain of the Jardines del Pedregal, Mexico City, where he collaborated with Luis Barragán, constructing various houses amid the impressive scenery of the place without disturbing the volcanic lava or the vegetation.
He also showed skill and great sensitivity in using the materials and techniques of the region.
